Questions

.
My wife says that I take things too literally and she is probably right. Nonetheless, there are some things that need answers.

Like: what happens to the tiny firemen that soothe the mouth of the lady in the Gaviscom advert? Do they get swallowed and so die? What a tragic end after helping solve the lady’s heartburn.

Similarly, what happens to the little men that clean the teeth of the other lady in the Listerine advert? Are they to die in her digestive tract also? Poor little things!

And why do Homebase go to the bother of building a kitchen in the bottom of an empty swimming pool? Is the pool to be covered over with a roof and the kitchen extended to make some sort of underground house?

Then there’s the tidy Thomson Holiday representative. Do they really bother to pick out the leaves in hotel swimming pools?

Some of these questions are unanswerable. Yet one advert that settled a question in my mind, though raised others, is the compare the meerkat advert. There really is a comparethemeerkat.com website with amusing talkative meerkats.

What I haven’t discovered yet is why they appear to be of Russian descent and how it came about that they could talk!
